She and her team did an fantastic job getting in shape in a short amount of time. More importantly, in 2018, we worked with her to do a large job, that involved adding a lot of native plants to our new yard, creating planter boxes, adding a fountain for birds, moving dirt, building walls and more. Jackie was absolutely amazing to work with and her team did a great job all through the project. She has continued to check in with us to help with plants that struggle in certain areas, to fix irrigation issues (damn squirrels), and add new plants as needed. We would absolutely use her again for a large project and continue to work with her for ongoing work.

The last tree service I used left a business card in my mailbox. Should have read the Yelp reviews…read morefirst. Let's say there's probably a reason why they drive around leaving business cards. This time I inquired through a Yelp project. Serrano texted me back to schedule an estimate quickly. I was able to get the estimate and work scheduled quickly. The first boss came over, and was very professional and courteous. Looked around, answered my questions, and made some expert suggestions. He understood the vibe I was going for. The crew of 3 came with truck and chipper. The foreman was also very responsive and polite. They were willing to take some direction, bit just do the minimum and get out. They did the divide and conquer, taking care of the smaller jobs in parallel. They were done in a couple hours. Good service, good price, professional and expert at their craft!

They visited twice, spent only 30 minutes each time, and charged me $800+ total. The tree completely died anyway right after second visit.

They showed up on time, brought the right equipment, and got the digging and hauling done quickly without tearing up the surrounding area. The grading came out clean and level, which made the rest of my project way easier. Communication was straightforward, pricing was great, and they were flexible about hauling the soil to private land instead of charging dump fees. No shortcuts, no surprises--just solid work. Would definitely hire them again.

I met Christian and Marco and the pride they had in their work, their ability to listen to my needs( which btw changed multiple times) and go way beyond what we had agreed upon is the reason I'm here posting this review.

Or they have branches that present a fire hazard and are close to your roof, giving animals a perfect highway to your attic? We were dealing with it all!! Armed with the city's municipal code and state case law, I researched property lines, talked to the neighbors, and called seven different tree companies. Zazueta Tree Specialists was already at the top of my list when my neighbor mentioned they had just used them and were 100% happy. That sealed the deal for me!! Carlos Zazueta--the super friendly, highly skilled owner and certified arborist--gave us a very reasonable estimate, and we excitedly scheduled our day of freedom from these invasive trees! The crew arrived at 7:30 AM sharp in a clean, professional logo truck with a serious wood chipper. After reviewing the plan to trim back five encroaching trees with Carlos and my hubby's guidance, they got straight to work. Their performance was meticulous, fast, and exacting. The crew (shoutout to Alex & Juan!) was incredibly friendly, professional and engaging When we asked. They left us with clear airspace, a spotless yard, and TOTAL PIECE OF MIND! We were so impressed with Carlos's expertise, professionalism, and customer service that we've already engaged his family's landscaping division (Zazueta Landscaping) to assess our entire front and backyard for a complete re-do. Save yourself the hours of overkill research I already did and just call them!!! You wibe so glad you did! P.S. In the "after" photo of the massive oak tree, it might look like the top branches weren't cut back entirely. Carlos explained that they always prioritize the long-term health of the tree. We got the safety and clearance we needed without harming the tree!

This is a…read morewonderful family business led by Cecilia and Steve, and we couldn't be happier with the incredible outdoor living space they created for us. My wife and I joke that they should change their name to BEST Landscape. From the very beginning, Cecilia and Steve were incredibly friendly and patient as we developed our backyard design. We never once felt pressured; they completely avoided upselling and instead provided us with plenty of fantastic options to fit different budget ranges. Even when we requested late changes to the plan, they were always accommodating and happy to pivot. The execution was just as impressive as the planning. Their crew was exceptionally reliable--always arriving on time Monday through Saturday, and sometimes even putting in hours on Sundays to keep things moving. You can genuinely tell they take pride in the quality of their work. Every single detail, from the flawless concrete countertops and tile work in our new outdoor kitchen to the modern paver walkways, fire pit, and turf, was executed perfectly. Beyond their craftsmanship, they were incredibly respectful of our home. The crew made sure to completely clean up after themselves at the end of every single workday. The entire project was truly a joy to work on with them. Thank you, Cecilia, Steve, and the entire Better Landscape team! I highly recommend them to anyone looking to transform their yard.

Their attention to detail is incredible, from plant selections to stone work. Beyond the design, their maintenance service is top=notch.

Here's our story: My wife and I bought a house in Q4 2019. The house itself seemed turnkey ready, but both the front and back yards needed major work. The previous owners put a pretty good mask on them during the selling process... I'd guess that they hired someone for yard clean-up, then simply poured tanbark on top of weeds (without properly removing them). During the purchasing process, we learned that the irrigation system was original 1955 galvanized steel and needed to be replaced. The end result was: our new house looked great from the inside... but the yards turned into neighborhood blights after about 3-4 months. We needed help. After blowing our nest egg on a down payment, we saved for another year to be able to afford actual landscape/hardscape. We weren't sure where to begin and engaged multiple vendors. Pearman Landscape was among them. From our first meeting, Robert Pearman behaved more like a trusted confidant than a vendor. We had never purchased hardscape services before... and it definitely showed. Rather than lead us around by our nose, like the greenhorns we obviously were, he described the entire process like an impartial 3rd party. Multiple times, he gave us information while acknowledging "whether you go with me or somebody else." Robert immediately sent over his designer, Kristin Bailey. I had read the Yelp reviews from Jody and Bob and immediately got worried, as they both claimed she was unresponsive. Luckily, I had a totally different experience. Kristin was prompt, she was polite, she was helpful, and I ended up chatting with her for about 45-minutes after we walked through my yard. I found her to be an absolute treat and I can't imagine anyone having a bad experience with her. She was wonderful every step of the way. Listened to what we needed, asked us great follow-up questions, made sure she was including plants and trees that we wanted in our design... and finished our plan in less than 2-weeks. It was very reasonably priced and we fell in love with the plan immediately after viewing it. I can't speak highly enough about Kristin. Based on our positive experience, we decided to move forward with Pearman Landscape. Not only will they redo our hardscape/landscape/irrigation, but I intend to retain them for garden maintenance after the project is completed. I'll provide updates and pictures as the process unfolds, but suffice to say: we're having a totally positive experience so far and I wanted to leave a 5-star review for any potential clients who might be considering Pearman. My family reached out to 15 different landscape companies around the SJ/South Bay area and Pearman stands head-and-shoulders above the other 14 suitors, both in terms of promptness, responsiveness, helpfulness, and pricing. I can't recommend them highly enough.

It had to be done right - no taking chances. The company was recommended by a neighbor with a complicated tree removal. I was happy with the service. A crew of men finished the job in a day and a half. No cherry picker - they climb the tree directly while harnessed and cut each piece one at a time. They worked from the outside of the tree in. Each piece is tied to a rope and lowered with control, not dropped. This produced a large amount of sawdust all over the front yard but there is no way around this. At my request they worked with my neighbor to cover his pool with a tarp because of the sawdust that comes raining down. They did clean up the paved areas afterward. The only thing is some of my succulent plants in my yard had pieces broken off but nothing drastic. I thought the price was fair. As with other small businesses, they were willing to work with me on price. I would recommend them to anyone who needs professional tree work. Experienced, insured, friendly, easy to communicate with.
